Trump does not like the PC nonsense going on with the media,the media literaly is the politicians now.The media on all sides is not being honest when
they show fast clips and skip politicains comments and spew them way way out of context.
If Trump can survive and whoop butt in the first debate He has a chance to win.

I'm sure all the POWs and troops captured in Afghanistan & Iraq or Nam & WWII can't wait to vote for this guy.

To be fair....McCain has taken it on himself to attack Donald.

It may not been the way I would of done it.

But, John McCain is a part of the problem. 40 years in the Senate ?

What has he done ?

If Mr. Trump were truly fit to be a world leader he would know how to address his issues with Senator McCain. He could have
thought to say something like,"Senator McCain is indeed a war hero. He stared death in the face and endured unimaginable torture, and in the end he
persevered and victoriously returned home a hero. He did this as an American with American values, and he has my up-most respect. Regrettably, I
must express my strong opposition to his stance on said issue because they..."

... Or maybe he could have said something much better than that. Lol, I'm not running for office. Still, you see the point.

Kind of reminds me of the movie with Jamie fox where he runs for president to become the first black man to be prrsident. He said the craziest things
but he was real. Favorite scene is the debate it was hillaruous.

I think people should overlook Donald Trump's revictimization of Sinner John McCain. They should ignore his previous random changes of political
course. They should ignore the orange monument to cognitive dissonance mounted on his head.

Americans should, instead, rise to the challenge and elect the first real estate developer in history to be President of the United States.

Trump for President! A Oner's Oner!!

"The Donald" should consult with Ivana (mother of Ivanka, pre-Melania, noted wit.). She might point out to him that McCain didn't bolt from his
foxhole, throw away his M16, and run into the arms of the enemy shouting "Don't shoot! Don't shoot! Take me into custody, please." He was shot down
over enemy territory by a Soviet missile and brutally tortured in a POW camp. He was given a chance of early release because of his connections
and refused to take the easy way out. Ivana might tell "The Donald" that he should like that kind of person. Just a suggestion.

But like I said...
Future president, many hundreds maybe thousands who were captured...

Trump is a sycophant.

A gutless one at that.

What's his service history?

McCain was saying some brutal things about Trump.

Trump is guilty of bad manners. I'll give you that.

McCain is guilty of spending 40 years amassing a fortune all on our dime.

You know, it's time for some bad manners in DC.

So true.

OK McCain was a POW. But he has milked that for 40 years.

JFK was a war hero. His reaction when it was brought up? "They sank my boat."

I served for 16 years and respect ALL military personnel. They all deserve better treatment then what we are getting. The true hero is the one that
says "thank you" for the recognition of their service, not the one that use it for personnel gains.

I like Trump and have no good feelings for McCain, but this was the nail in Trump's coffin. The immigration comment was ok, it is partly true and
immigration is a big problem, but this statement shows Trump isn't a serious contender. It's too bad, because the Donald was flying high for a few
weeks and creating good conversation.

Another thing about Trump is that in the past he was liberal on the issues

On universal health care he said, “we got to take care of our people”

--We do have to take care of them. Obamacare is not the answer and neither is "universal" care.
Maybe universal primary care clinics and then insurance for the long term stuff?

On free trade he was actually better than Obama and the butt kissing GOP
-- EVERYBODY is better the Obama on this.

On abortion he was for it
-- This should never even be talked about in a Federal election. Personally I think this is a states right issue, but...

So it’s strange that Cruz, the tea party and the GOP base like him.
-- Not so much. He says things that most the GOP base agree with. I bet Cruz wishes he could say those things, but money drive an election.

I know its for immigration but

Something weird is going on here, I don’t precisely know what but something is in the mix

--- You maybe right here. Maybe it is a straight talking, no hold barred person that is turning over the applecart and the normal controls aren't
working.

But here's the problem. Trump is TRYING to piss people off. He can't stay in long enough for it to come out that he's not really a billionaire, and he
can't drop out because he refuses to show his finances, so he has to trade electability for notoriety as quickly as possible so that he can make a
defiant speech about how sensitive people are tying his hands and he has come to realize that being elected would actually reduce his wealth power and
fame.

The problem is he DID file his financial disclosure form. It should be online in a couple days.
Even if he is not worth the $10 Billion he says, even Forbes say he has AT LEAST $4 Billion free and clear.

Exactly, what a president he will make, you can not got after one individual making smart remarks without offending a large portion of the rest of
the population that have served this country proudly even if you were not a POW but just serving in the military alone.

Trump may be a savvy scammer when it comes to money but in public opinion he is as dumb regarding politics as it can come, a perfect sign that a
politician he is not and never will be.

Even Reagan that was an actor was more careful in his speeches and gained understanding of politics during his term as governor.

I'm sure all the POWs and troops captured in Afghanistan & Iraq or Nam & WWII can't wait to vote for this guy.

I know many American vets, both old and young.

Most do not take offense to Trump's comments...and most of them did NOT vote for McCain in 2008. I think you're pretending that vets like McCain way
more than they do.

It's okay to have the utmost respect for someone for what they went through as a POW, but that doesn't automatically make them a hero. Like I've said
before to people: Heroism is both relative and subjective.

Yes actually veterans don't like McCain he's screwed then over so many times its not funny. Blocked finding for the va cut voted to cut benefits for
military all the while claiming to support the military.

And being a veteran myself I got this one in my email. Veterans know he was actually a traitor and not a war hero. He helped actually plan attacks
against us forces and made videos against us Policies. Not something a service member should do even if his dad was politician.
